For me, Photography is a long time companion. Along the way I try to capture the beauty of the places i visit accross the globe.

Note: It`s my passion, not my profession.

The Plecoptera are an order of insects 🐜 🐞 also known as stoneflies. They have been around for approximately 300 million years. You can identify them by looking at their simple mouthparts 👄 with chewing mandibles, long, multiple-segmented antennae and large compound eyes👁. The legs 🦵 are robust and with each ending in two claws. Both adults and nymphs have long, paired cerci projecting from the tip of the abdomen. The nymphs (as seen on my picture) are aquatic for most species of plecoptera and they acquire oxygen throug gills located behind the head, thorax, or around the a**s.
You may ask yourself: What’s the reason I am taking pictures of plecoptera larvae ? As a biology student with an enthusiasm for photography, I work as a research assistant for a project on the topic of biomonitoring of water quality with the help of machine learning. Plecoptera larvae are particularly sensitive to well oxygenated water and can thus be used as an indicator of water quality/pollution.
In the lab 🔬 I am able to work with state of the art microscopes (Keyence VHX 6000) which allow me to take these high resolution pictures. This particular picture consists of 1500 individual photographs stacked and stitched 🧵 together with a pixel count of 500.000.000 pixels.
This is an entirely different way of taking pictures (compared to traditional DSLR-cameras) which requires even more preparation and time in postproduction.

When I first came to visit Hamburg, I was about 16 years old. Ever since I have returned almost every year to enjoy the atmosphere. There is just something special about the water being so close to you. Even though the wind 🌬 is very strong (and cold in the winter),you can visit the local beach 🏖 next to the Elbe in the summer and enjoy the sunshine ☀️ on your face. The city center offers a lot of different possibilities for shopping, good restaurants and a lot of cafes to spend your time on. If you are more into walking and sightseeing I can recommend to do a boat ⛵️ trip on the Alster. It’s a branch of the larger Elbe and you can enjoy the view onto many different beautiful properties along its shore. Another highlight is the area called Speicherstadt. It’s a historic district and also a UNESCO world heritage site. In the 19th Century it served as a facility for storage. Today it’s home to different attractions such as the Hamburg Dungeons and the famous Miniature Wonderland. In the surrounding area a lot of new buildings were build. This picture shows a totally new living complex close to Speicherstadt and the famous Elbphilharmonie.
Have you ever been to Hamburg and what has been your most memorable experience ?

The species Idea leuconoe 🦋(Weiße Baumnymphe) has a wingspan of approximately 12-14 cm. The butterfly is of Southeast Asian origin but can also be found in Taiwan and some other regions. They have a lifespan of a 100 days, which is quite high for insects. The caterpillar 🐛 ingests Alkaloids from a certain plant 🌱(Parsonsia helicandra), which the males need for their pheromone production. Over all,I had a great time photographing 📸 these beautiful insects 🐞 🕷 🐜 .

The botanical garden Munich-Nymphenburg is currently holding 19.600 different species of plants 🌱 and animals 🐝🐌🐥. The garden also serves the purpose of educating people and therefore many students and trainees get to enjoy the variety every year. Furthermore, the garden contributes to the conservation of this variety. For this task, the gardens 4.500 square meters of greenhouses 🏡 are essential. They hold indigenous species, but also for example tropical 🌴 species. On this picture you can see one of the houses filled with succulents 🌵 from all over the world.
Just in case you want to visit the garden yourself, entry fees range from 4,5 - 6,5 euros.

This butterfly 🦋 is Heliconius hecale, also known as tiger longwing (German: Passionsblumen Falter) and has its origin in Central America. They can grow up to 7 cm in diameter and their bright and distinct colors are a ⚠️ warning ⚠️ to potential predators. I was really surprised when I first found out, that butterflies have long lifespans when compared to other insects. This species for example can live up to 9 months, but most tropical 🌴 butterflies only live a few weeks.
I can highly recommend visiting an institution which has butterflies on display (dead or alive). They are diverse and can be seen in many different shapes, sizes and colors. As a biology student you can enter the exhibition in the botanical garden Munich-Nymphenburg for free. But hurry up, the exhibition closes on the 15th of March 2020.

Formentera is a small island 🌴 , which belongs to the group of Balearic Islands 🏝. Assuming you begin your journey from its lovely neighboring island Ibiza, you can easily reach your destination by boat ⛵️ within 2 hours. Despite being small, the island has a lot to offer : restaurants with good cuisine, small towns for shopping 🛍 and beautiful beaches 🏖☀️, where you can hang out and have a nice day. You can get to every location by either using a local bus or renting a 🚘 or scooter 🛵 .
This lighthouse is located at the southwest cup of Formentera. The surrounding area only has little vegetation but offers a nice view onto the sea 🌊 . There is also a small cave, which you can enter at own risk (you can check it out, it’s not dangerous ❕).

The Atomium is a well-known sight in the city of brussel. Originally constructed for the World Expo in 1958, the Atomium represents a unit cell of an iron crystal, magnified by a factor of 165 billion. You will feel small compared to the 102 meter tall structure, which is made of stainless steel. The entry-fee is 16 euros, but for me its was definitely worth it ! My personal highlight was beinig in the center sphere, where you can sit and enjoy a really cool lighting show. Besides the attraction, the park surrounding it is definitely worth checking out even if you just want to go for a walk and enjoy the sun (assuming you are not visiting during the winter XD)

Marseille was the fourth stop along my backpacking trip through europe. One very iconic landmark is the basilica Notre-Dame de la Garde, sitting above the whole city. It can be seen from every direction, because it was built on the highest natual point in marseille. Overall it’s a very beautiful church, but i really want to highlight the stunning mosaics, that can be found in the different cupolas. You really should take your time to appreciate the small details. In this particular shot i tried to capture as much of the art work as possible !
My personal Tip: Consider visiting the church first, because you can get a pretty good overview of the city by just walking around it. Later on this will come in handy, becaus you will be able to find your way around the city much easyer.

Botanicatus is the largest botanical garden in europe, located on the beautiful island 🌴 of mallorca. The island is known for its clubs and the extensive consume of alcohol 🍺.Unfortunatly most people don’t even get to see the rest of the island and it is truely beautiful. My friends and I did a roadtrip 🚘 around the whole island, did a lot of hiking 🥾 , taking pictures 📸 along the way and enjoyed the delicious cuisin. It was an experience worth to remember!
This particular picture shows a the gardens well thought of concept. At some points you feel like beeining in a forsest, except you are surrounded by cacti 🌵 instead of trees. I dont know about you, but i love cacti 🌵🥰
